About

The Collection Online team have been busy photographing thousands of artworks as part of QAGOMA’s Digital Transformation Initiative. This makes the Collection available and accessible to people everywhere, in detail never seen before. With dedicated conservators, registrars, technologists and photographers, the project has provided the resources to delve deep into Collection Storage to uncover and care for artworks not displayed in decades. This exhibition represents a small sample of our teams’ favourite finds – the weird and whimsical, the cute and curious.

We gratefully acknowledge the hundreds of donors who generously supported the QAGOMA Foundation’s ‘Unlock the Collection’ campaign to digitise the Collection and make artworks more accessible and discoverable online including this diverse range of artworks, from small figures to small frogs.

These are some of the artworks we have recently prepared for photography, and just some of the works which made us smile.
